FROM SARAH:

Omu's delicious stew brings everyone in the story together in this award-winning picture book. I enjoy it any time of year, especially on a soup-making kind of day.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Everyone in the neighborhood dreams of a taste of Omu's delicious stew! One by one, they follow their noses toward the scrumptious scent. And one by one, Omu offers a portion of her meal. Soon the pot is empty. Has she been so generous that she has nothing left for herself?

FROM THE PUBLISHER:
In this heartfelt and universal story, a mother and daughter look forward to their special Saturday routine together every single week. But this Saturday, one thing after another goes wrong--ruining storytime, salon time, picnic time, and the puppet show they'd been looking forward to going to all week. Mom is nearing a meltdown...until her loving daughter reminds her that being together is the most important thing of all.

FROM SARAH:

I love books like this, where we peek into the windows of a building and see what everyone is up to. It turns out, everybody in the red brick building is up to something! From Caldecott Award winning illustrator, Oge Mora, who also illustrated Thank You, Omu! and The Oldest Student.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

A chain reaction of noises wakes up several children (and a cat) living in an apartment building. But it’s late in the night, so despite the disturbances, one by one, the building’s inhabitants return to their beds—this time with a new set of sounds to lull them to sleep.
